Yep, you're right. And I've thought it was a stain all this time -- Probably shows something about my level of neatness.....That seemed perfectly normal to me!

First dude she had a true shot at was Derick. No thanks! The list basically gets more pathetic from there...

Eww who would want Derick,other than Jill no one wants that guy.

Yep, sounds completely implausible to me, too. But almost all of my closest friends and family have graduate and/or professional degrees that I've watched them obtain.....'Yes'!)

For some reason I read that as closet friends 😂

Ha! ....Well, I think they're all out of the closet now....!

Not so in Duggarland or MacArthurville, unfortunately.

Do we know where they live in Los Angeles ?

I much prefer these plain felicity posts to them showing off what they’re eating, wearing, and what big names they’re hanging out with!

Santa Clarita, I believe. @Absolom can correct me.

Thanks, I must have totally spaced that out.

[Absolom]

I don't think we know exactly where the house is, but somewhere in the Sun Valley/Santa Clarita area.  

[Oldernowiser]

No gigantic bow?

[Sew Sumi]

I think someone might have gotten sick of the bows. Go Lissy!

@Absolom, Radar posted their address, or linked to the Zillow. Someone else can confirm Santa Clarita, but I have about 100% certainty.

[Absolom]

I saw the house photos, but not a Zillow link and the photos say San Fernando valley which would include Sun Valley, but not normally Santa Clarita.  

[Sew Sumi]

I don't want to go back, but I am pretty sure a pic of the Prop was labeled in Santa Clarita. I hope someone can confirm before I am forced to comb their IG pages (,please no).

Today, I was walking around downtown Seattle.  I saw a 30's something man in a suit with tight, high-water pants, fancy shoes with NO SOCKS!  He reminded me of Jeremy.

I know they had at least one or two that they took at the college in Santa Clarita.  

Oh, Jeremy is getting worse.  That look does not become him either.

He looks idiotic.

[Sew Sumi]

I recall a pic from their home with the Prop from SC. It was a few months ago, which is why I don't want to go combing through Jinger's IG for proof.

[Lunera]

They live in Santa Clarita. 

[Lunera]

 Jacket is $399 and trousers are $199, but he probably asked for that influencer discount. 🙄

[GeeGolly]

Aspyn Brown, a daughter from Sister Wives, actually provides an email address on her IG for influencer inquiries. Businesses must really like the reality tv folks shilling their stuff, although it didn't look like Aspyn didn't do much more than one of those subscription boxes.

J & J seem to put some real effort into being SM Avon ladies.

I need to quickly become famous so I can shill shit in my retirement years for pocket money.

A double breasted suit jacket needs both buttons buttoned.

Now we know why he married a clueless Duggar with no dating experience. I imagine regular women tired of him pretty quickly.

[PradaKitty]

The shirt is buttoned all the way up. Without a tie, a buttoned to the collar shirts just look geeky. 

[Churchhoney]

Is it just me or does he look a little uncomfortable in that outfit?

....I guess it's mostly that when I see a jacket pull and wrinkle that much when somebody bends a couple inches it makes me uncomfortable....makes me want to yank my sleeves down and unbutton my own jacket or shirt if I'm wearing a buttoned one......

Me too. The shoulder/arm area is making me squirm as well. It looks as if he wouldn't be able to raise his arms above waist level with those tight sleeves. I imagine the shirt sleeves are a jumbled, wrinkled mess under there too.

I agree. Something just seems off with that picture. I think you & @GeeGolly have nailed the reason.

[Churchhoney]

Not nearly as ineffective an ad as Jessa's recent shilling photograph in the mirror...in the dark...contorted....with whatever was going on with her shoes...and her hair....

Nevertheless, I can see it quietly triggering the thought "Not spending 600 bucks on something that looks that uncomfortable" -- in some people, at least. Despite Felicity contributing her usual adorableness. (She's got the leggings-under-the-dress-look though. For the moment, I'm going to trust that won't become a trend.)

That must be the style now for men who are relatively slim. We have a meteorologist on our local TV who is very slim, but his suit jackets are cut so tight he can hardly raise his arms. That’s got to be so uncomfortable!

Sometimes I think the clothing industry occasionally invents trends like that to make absolutely sure that, when the trend ends (fairly quickly), no one will ever hold on to those clothes to wear them again.....and they'll guarantee more sales for the next trend they come up with.....

I think that's how fashion works, too.  Fast trends quickly abandoned, but the classics don't go out of style.  Jer will try to shill any look that appeals to his ego and narcissistic personality.  Or anything that will enrich his pockets.  He latched onto a semi-famous wife, for many reasons.  He may be a total toolbox, but he isn't stupid.

I agree. Take cutie Felicity out of the picture and Jeremy's just an average guy in a trendy suit. He has no "it" factor to stand out on his own. Jinger and the Prop boost his profile tremendously.

Sounds like the thread title needs to be changed. Jinger and the Holy (Former) Goalie-Turned Rev Fancy Pants. . . and the Prop.

Maybe I am the only one, but I really dislike calling Lissy a Prop. She is a baby, she looks happy, healthy, well taken care of. They take her places (unlike some of her cousins), as far as a baby/toddler goes, it looks that se has a great life.

Other Duggars and all lots of other parents post pictures of their children wherever they go, so I don't fault the Vuolos for doing the same.

I'd agree with this completely if the Vuolos (and the other Duggarlings) had social-media accounts that went to a network of acquaintances (even a huge network of acquaintances). 

I still think way way too little attention is paid -- both by people here and by the Duggarlings -- to what I believe is a very big difference between personal social media and social media accounts used professionally by celebrities and "influencers" and such. Accounts that go to literally hundreds of thousands or, in this case, a million-plus people. Accounts that are less personal records of somebody's life and more (much more) publicity for their owners and that are put out so that a million total strangers -- gawkers -- can stare at them.

Very very very few celebrities post many pictures of their children on that kind of account. As I understand it, almost all celebrities have private accounts for their personal networks that are completely distinct from  their celebrity accounts that are open to the gawking strangers. Many celebrities post no pictures at all -- or only very very occasional pictures -- of their young children on their publicly accessible accounts. And no pictures of the intimate parts of their personal lives either -- like the grief pictures that Joy and various of her friends and relations posted of her. 

Most celebrities keep stuff like that private because they believe (or know, in many cases) that it's dangerous -- physically and psychologically, for them and their children and for the gawkers -- to do otherwise in a celebrity-obsessed culture.

Because gawking strangers don't view celebrities in the same light as they view people they know.

Here, for example, I'm about 100 percent sure that most of us talk about the people of Duggardom and other fundies who've made themselves into some kind of Internet celebs in ways we might never talk about people we know -- both negatively and positively. The attitude is different and that difference (where they and their families are seen as somehow larger than average, larger than life, in both negative and positive ways) can be a special threat to children -- both from what can happen because of an unhinged stranger and what may happen in kids' heads as they observe all this. 

I don't call Felicity The Prop because I don't like using disrespectful words or thinking disrespectful thoughts about the young kids of Duggardom -- It's not their fault, so to comment much on them at all is just wrong to me...... 

But do her parents knowingly and constantly  post her photos for viewing by their million-plus "followers" on social-media accounts whose purpose is not to share things with family and friends but to publicize the Vuolos and earn money based on their fame? Absolutely.  

I don't believe any of the Duggars or adjacents have thought this through in terms of potential consequences for their kids. At all.

I have no doubt that the Vuolos adore their daughter, which is more than can be said for other Duggars and their offspring.

And I wouldn’t call her a nasty name, ever. But RFP calls the grift shots, and for those he blatantly uses her as a prop. How many other toddlers would be shown in every photo of their father’s supposed place of employment?

The Duggars made millions exploiting their kids. RFP is continuing the family tradition.

Exactly. Which, uh, kind of casts doubt on the idea that, oh, he's not like JB and M at all....

He may not intend to be.....I expect he doesn't intend to be....

But....unconscious imitation may be the very sincerest form of flattery.

I do often think they use her as a prop. If Jeremy posted pictures showing off and advertising his suit, bow tie, etc, he would get backlash for being a vain asshole. He often poses with her so that people focus on the cute baby. I know secretly he wishes he had his own fashion page.

They've also turned Felicity into a baby influencer. The latest thing Jinger advertised using her was KiwiCo.

And I believe the manscaping has been taken up a notch.

Don't see why he doesn't finish up that Syracuse MBA and go for a job in the business side of the fashion industry. To me that clearly seems to be his top interest.

And, really, if you're deeply interested in something your chances of doing well with it are much higher .... And he has the good fortune to be very interested in a field where there is enough money so you can support yourself in a pleasant lifestyle, which he clearly also wants to do......

That's less true of the ministry, as far as I can tell. In the ministry today, there seems to be a big feast for a very few and a quite modest lifestyle for the vast majority. So it's a gamble for somebody who has a taste for living very well. Maybe he does have a true -- but largely secret -- passion for theology and pastoring....but it doesn't show itself often........

I guess he must figure that being one of the few at the top is guaranteed for him. But it seems unlikely that it's actually guaranteed for anyone -- and will likely be less and less guaranteed as time goes on, given the long-term trends.

Meanwhile, he will have to tone down his enthusiasm for clothes and advertising and such at least a bit once he actually enters a ministerial job. I still maintain that even Gen Zers aren't gonna want to see their pastor with some kind of clothing-ad tag or restaurant tag hanging on him in every single photo.

It is when they're on the ground, thankfully. The bin's open and a guy behind them is standing up.
